Your ability to enjoy Neighbors depends entirely on your definition of a comedy. If you enjoy your comedies vulgar and crude, with plenty of sexual innuendos, condom gags and actual sex scenes, Neighbors will hit the mark. However, if you desire more sophisticated comedy (such as, say, the kind that was common in movies twenty, thirty years ago), Neighbors will fall far short of the goal. It has its moments of enjoyment (the finale, airbag scene and the Batman argument between Zac Efron and Seth Rogen were my favorites), but in between there will be scene after scene of condoms, nudity and other crude references. I did enjoy the performance of the frat brothers, but ultimately there is too much garbage here to sift through to get to the highlights.
